Published: May 2022

This report describes a method for the deoxyfluorination of alcohols with KF as the fluorine source via in situ generation of highly active CFSOF. Diverse functionalities, including halogen, nitro, ketone, ester, alkene, and alkyne, are well tolerated. Mild conditions, a short reaction time, and a wide substrate scope make this method an excellent choice for the construction of C-F bonds.

Organofluorine compounds are vital across multiple sectors, hence highly selective methods to install fluorine are of considerable importance. The deoxyfluorination of alcohols is a key approach to prepare organofluorine compounds, however, a highly secondary (2°)-selective deoxyfluorination of alcohols has not been realized to date. Herein, we report that borane-mediated deoxyfluorination results in high 2°-selectivity in inter- and intra-molecular competition reactions versus primary (1°), tertiary (3°) and even benzylic (Bn) alcohols.

Deoxyfluorination is one of the most practical methods for introducing fluorine atoms, since hydroxyl groups are commonly found in organic small molecules. Traditional fluorination methods often rely on hazardous fluorinating reagents. Herein, we report the deoxyfluorination of propargyl alcohols using sulfur hexafluoride (SF) as a safe fluorinating agent under photocatalytic conditions.

In the study, we introduce an air-stable NHC-based deoxyfluorination reagent ImCl[HF], offering a promising avenue for deoxyfluorination across various substrates. Reagent efficiently fluorinates benzyl alcohols, carboxylic acids, and P(V) compounds without external fluoride sources. A mechanistic study reveals a two-step process involving benzyl chloride as an intermediate, shedding light on the two-step reaction pathway.

Sulfur based deoxyfluorination reagents are usually derived from the corrosive gas SF. Herein, we report the synthesis and properties of an easily accessible phosphonium salt [(tmg)PF]SF (1) which was obtained from the reaction of sulfur hexafluoride (SF) with tris(tetramethylguanidinyl)phosphine. The performance of this crystalline SF salt as a reagent in deoxyfluorination reactions was investigated together with a second SF salt [(R)PF]SF (2) containing bulky substituents (R=1,3-di-tert-butylimidazolidin-2-ylidenamino).

Article Synopsis
  • A novel method for deoxyfluorination of various alcohols using a nontrigonal phosphorus triamide allows for the activation of alcohols without a base.
  • This process incorporates an organic soluble fluoride donor and a triarylborane fluoride shuttling catalyst to facilitate the reaction.
  • The study also shows that this method expands on current deoxyfluorination techniques, allowing for the creation of homochiral secondary and tertiary alkylfluorides through stereoinversion of the original alcohol.
